The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is a computing facility for the U.S. DOE.

Franklin

Franklin is the biggest machine in NERSC. It consists of 9,660 quad-core nodes (38,640 processors). To execute a g-rsm experiment in frankin, following processes are needed.
  1. Make a symbolic link of gunzip for uncompress command. (for example, $ ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip ~/bin/uncompress)
  2. Choose "nersc" as institution in the usual installation process. (machine=linux, march=mpi will be chosen)
  3. Specify "ftn" for XXX_F77 in options-linux-mpi in both libs/opt-libs/ and gsm(rsm)/opt.
  4. Add "-Msave" for FORT_FLAGS and LOAD_FLAGS in gsm(rsm)/opt/options-linux-mpi.
  5. Specify nothing for EXTRA_LIBS_XXX in gsm(rsm)/opt/options-linux-mpi.
  6. Change status(12) to status(8) in libs/lib/w3lib_linux/nainit.f.

Then, do all compilation again (from configure-libs to configure-scr). "qsub" is used for submitting a g-rsm script.

error!!! no filling value found in ll2rsm

Hello,

I am trying to run SCOAR model but it always quits at the day 75 - no matter the starting date.
The error is
" error!!! no filling value found in ll2rsm "
in the output file
out-rfcst.ft1776
This happens when reading and processing sst grib file in the ll2rsm procedure.
I noticed here similar problem some time ago and it was related to incorrectly read grib files.
Please if anybody has any suggestions what could be wrong and how possibly to fix it, let me know.

thanks !

Hi, Jan
After reading the SCOAR job scripts. The SCOAR works in this way, the ROMS passes the SST to the coupler. The SST is interpolated to RSM grid, then is converted to grib format. I guess the problem is not in RSM part. But it is possible in the ROMS part or sst_to_grib.
1). Please check the SST state in last ocean history record.
2). The SST may not be compacted to grib format correctly.
